At the end of the day it's a car. I'll buy my next car (probably a Taycan Cross or Defender 130 ev) based on it's qualities not some desire to punish some corporate entity that doesn't give a shit.
Fair enough. VW gave me back money for diesel gate. I would just rather throw my support behind an all electric company, there will be more of those.
Thanks for the links. We're a couple of years off being able to afford this so hopefully things improve.
We did over 600 k's on our trip. As it happened we got turned around by a flooded causeway on the way to the coast and had to take a long detour and stop at a fast charger. The back roads were completely trashed anyway with pot holes everywhere so had I known that I would have planned the longer main road route, without the detour adding 90km we would have still done it in one go.
We took it all through Booderee Nat Park including about 18k of dirt road. We filled it at our Airbnb overnight with an extension run from their garage.
We took the even longer tourist drive home. Huskisson > Callala Bay, south of Berry went to a winery on the way home and had lunch while it supercharged from 180km to full,
We went up the climb to Fitzroy Falls following a plumber who was an obvious local doing about 2-3x the posted speed limit on the hairpin corners in an obviously powerful new Guy-lux style ute, i had never driven it bit followed his lines and chewed a bit of juice.
Just after Fitzroy Falls (what a lovely place) Elon's evil AI worked out we should stay under 115km/h to reach home. That also would mean not getting to the speed limit and between speed limits in seconds and milliseconds. Luckily we were passing Goulburn and we could top up. The Supercharger chucked a hunge k on in the time it took my wife to go to the loo and buy some local grog from the visitor centre, she lives a good visitor centre.
Got home and plugged into the wall socket, it will be 100% by the time I need to take my wife to work. She's 100% on board to get one when we can. It can take a tow bar too.
